[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1938494] Re: Control Center crashes with SIGTRAP (from X11 MIT-SHM BadAlloc) on Applications view
I'm not sure what you mean by "which software is creating the issue"--- the crashing process is gnome-control-center; everything else on the system is stable. I agree that it's not completely surprising that a request for a 242x43972 pixbuf might fail; it is surprising to me that the Control Center would request a 242x43972 pixbuf in the first place (screen hardware resolution and virtual desktop are both 1920x1080), and it's disappointing that the application doesn't deal more gracefully with a failed pixbuf allocation for whatever reason. i.e. I suspect that there are two separate bugs here, the failure to check the return value from gdk_pixbuf_new() (or related helper function), and the computation of the required pixbuf size in the first place. The request is probably for the application icon ribbon, but a height of 43972 would be enough to stack 458 96-pixel icons--- surely not all of those need to be in the display surface at one time. I will open an upstream ticket; started here because I used the Ubuntu crash reporter and it looked like it might be a library incompatibility issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938494 Title: Control Center crashes with SIGTRAP (from X11 MIT-SHM BadAlloc) on Applications view Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) Running AMD64 edition of Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS; it is up-to-date with no pending updates from the main repo. 2) Specifically, have the amd64 build of gnome-control-center 1:3.36.5-0ubuntu2 installed. libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 is version 2.40.0+dfsg-3ubuntu0.2, libcairo2 is 1.16.0-4ubuntu1, libgtk2.0-0 is 2.24.32-4ubuntu4 and libgtk-3-0 is 3.24.20-0ubuntu1. 3) What I expected to happen: possible to navigate between the "Applications" and other tabs of the Control Center without a crash. 4) What happens (100% reproducibly) instead: if the Control Center starts in any view except Applications, clicking on "Applications" in the selection pane causes an immediate application crash (hard exit) with the text below written to stderr.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1938494] Re: Control Center crashes with SIGTRAP (from X11 MIT-SHM BadAlloc) on Applications view
Looks like it's trying to create a window that's 242x43972 pixels so unsurprising that might fail. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938494 Title: Control Center crashes with SIGTRAP (from X11 MIT-SHM BadAlloc) on Applications view Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) Running AMD64 edition of Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS; it is up-to-date with no pending updates from the main repo. 2) Specifically, have the amd64 build of gnome-control-center 1:3.36.5-0ubuntu2 installed. libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 is version 2.40.0+dfsg-3ubuntu0.2, libcairo2 is 1.16.0-4ubuntu1, libgtk2.0-0 is 2.24.32-4ubuntu4 and libgtk-3-0 is 3.24.20-0ubuntu1. 3) What I expected to happen: possible to navigate between the "Applications" and other tabs of the Control Center without a crash. 4) What happens (100% reproducibly) instead: if the Control Center starts in any view except Applications, clicking on "Applications" in the selection pane causes an immediate application crash (hard exit) with the text below written to stderr. When the Control Center is restarted, the Applications pane is now loaded, and can be navigated as expected until I click the "<" in the top left of the window (to go back and select another category), whereupon it immediately crashes with the same error message quoted below. Error message written to stderr in either case above: Gdk-ERROR **: 22:18:27.542: The program 'gnome-control-center' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 47249 error_code 11 request_code 130 (MIT-SHM) minor_code 5) From the backtrace below, it looks like this is possibly related to loading the pixmap for one of my application icons; I happen to have several applications with broken/missing icons (all Steam games), but don't have any problems viewing or starting those games from the Launcher, nor navigating to their settings when gnome-control-center launches in the Applications view (e.g. after the crash described above, or by manual selection on the command line). In any event, a Control Center crash for a missing or corrupted pixmap is not robust behavior. Of note, line #14 in the backtrace (gdk_window_create_similar_surface) shows a "height" parameter of 43972, which may be unreasonably large in comparison to the width of 242 and possibly contributing to the BadAlloc.
